Geeksboro Coffee House & Cinema is working on obtaining full FNM status with Wizards of the Coast, and this requires holding tournaments. So here it is the inaugural Geeksboro Open on Friday the 30th. The format is Modern, which includes all sets from 8th Edition to Return to Ravnica. 60 card decks with 15 are advised. There is no entry fee and there will be prizes for the top four. Tournament starts at 7pm with a deck workshop at 6 for those new to magic and modern. Bring your trade binders!

geeksboro? never heard of ya. also, modern? who wants to make a $600 deck to play a format that has turn 1-2 wins? may as well have a craps tournament since it all boils down to whoever wins the die roll. good luck with your business though.

Sorry you feel that way about the Modern format, this will mostly be a casual tournament using modern as boundaries for deck building. Wizards current banned list precludes consistent wins before turn 3, but more power to the Johnny's that can in the current format. Regardless of your feelings about current magic formats, (we will be having Standard and Legacy tournaments in the future as well) please come by and check us out.

I'd say Modern is a very healthy format right now, especially with the reprinting of Ravnica lands. And you see a huge variety of decks win from Affinity/robots to even Red Deck Wins being a viable deck to build for around $140.

Does it have a higher initial investment? Absolutely, but the decks have far fewer maintenance costs associated after ever release, as opposed to standard, where the tier 1 deck right now costs about $600 (Green/white).
